Our Team

Raymond Patton founded Patton’s Five Star Towing in 1997 with just one truck and one location. From day one he strived to have one of the most professional companies and we continue to do so every day. With the passing of Raymond in 2008 his son Jacob has continued Ray’s legacy and built one of the most professional companies in the area. Now with three locations and 16 trucks we continue to expand each and every day to meet all of your needs.

Jacob Patton

Growing up around wreckers his whole life, Jacob is extremely honored and proud to continue his father’s business. When Jacob first took over the business he accepted an award for the Golden 30 and an American Towman award on behalf of his father and has since won 2 more awards himself. Training and certifications are very important to Jacob. He is 6/7 Wreckmaster certified and is always trying to learn more.

“Helping the motoring public is what motivates this company and myself. When people are calling for a tow they generally aren’t having a great day. Turning their negative situation into a positive by getting them off the road safely is the most important thing in our industry.”
